Italy outlasts France 1-1 (5-3) as World Cup finally over
 Zidane showed wotta classy player he was ... | Italy are World champions for a fourth time. They held their nerve in a penalty shoot-out to score all five kicks as David Trezeguet missed for France.
But this game will be perhaps be remembered for Zinedine Zidane's career ending in disgrace after being dismissed for an off-the-ball incident with Marco Materazzi. He headbutted the Italian defender after a heated discussion on 110 minutes and, after some consultations between officials, was shown the red card.
